    How is Dwayne Lathan not on this list? Hes averaging above 15 points a game and is questionably the most exciting player in the valley...

      Why wasn't he even a regular starter for the Sycs until the last 3 games?

        The way he was coming off the bench in the first five minutes of the game (every time) he would still be coming in off the bench if I was coaching. Don't mess with success! You can be assurred he will be on the floor at the end of games. Hope you all get to see him at his best when he comes to Peoria............the kid can play and he's just a R/S soph.

          If you look at James Haarsma's numbers from Evansville they're pretty impressive. If he played for a higher profile team he'd be a candidate. He's averaging right at 14ppg and 8.5 reb.

          Ahelegbe gets a lot of love, but when you're averaging less than 15ppg it's really a stretch to be considered for POY...especially when the only other number that's really good is the assist column. Eldridge hurts his team with ill-advised shots and is a notoriously bad defender, but if I were a bettin' man, I'd say he's gonna be your POY because of his firepower.

            funny how we see that and on their own message board, most of the ISU fans see that..
            but when they come here, they argue vociferously that it ain't so...

              Ahelegbe is shooting 55% on threes to lead the MVC, so far. If UNI does win the MVC, I think he'll get serious support for the POY.

                I think Ahelegbe is far and away the best player in the Valley. Take him away from UNI and they are a Thursday night team.

                  I think Taylor Brown could be an all-conference player this year if he can stay focused. It appears that he's taken his eye off the ball so-to-speak these last couple of games.

                    In my opinion Brown has had a very difficult time adjusting to being the center of the opposing team's attention, he also looks confused when plays are run for him. He needs to get back to playing, what I call Marcus Camby, or a more relative comparison, Zack Andrews basketball. Making plays, getting shots, and contributing without the offense being run through him. If he does that, then, yes, he is an all-conference type player.

                      Agree 100%.

                        Garland great post! But there lies our dilemma. You need a person out there on the floor that the O can run through. SM besides TB are the only ones that enjoy that role. I'd love it if AW would step up to the plate and demand the ball and shoot it. For us to be the team we thought they were AW needs to start acting and playing up to his ability.

                        Say what you want about King O but he can and will take a game over from his will alone.

                          How good of a team would we have if we had Osiris Eldrudge, P'Allen Stinnett, and Sean Ogirri playing guard, then Jermaine Brown at SF, and Ben Coupet at center..
                          We might see a lot of speactacular individual plays and dunks, but we might go a full season without seeing an assist!
